Choosing A Wedding Cake

The size of the wedding cake will depend on the number of guests that you are expecting. It is a kind thought to save some cake to send to guests who could not accept your invitation and will be unable to attend, after all you thought enough of them to invite them! You should bear this in mind while determining the number of portions required.

While it is important that a wedding cake looks good, it should of course, taste as good as it looks. Though it is usual to have a fruitcake wedding cake, vanilla or chocolate sponge cake is becoming more popular. Gluten-free or eggless sponge is available if you know that allergy sufferers will be present. Remember - each tier can be a different flavour!
